Congratulations to the PCJH Athlete of the Week, Lilli Trachsel!

Lilli is also involved in volleyball, travel softball, and Peer Partners.

Congratulations to the PCJH Student of the Week, Ryleigh Rudin!
Ryleigh, an 8th grader, was nominated by Mr. Grant, who wrote, "Ryleigh is an exemplary student and a positive role model for her peers. She’s been a great example for her peers the last two years I have taught her in Social Studies. Ryleigh demonstrates responsibility, respect, a hard work ethic, and a positive attitude. She gets along with her peers and works well with all of them. She’s always demonstrated a willingness to provide support when they need help during group work. Lastly, Ryleigh demonstrates her individual classroom strengths in the quality of work she has shown through her writing and academic work in Social Studies.
I appreciate all of the great things that Ryleigh brings to the classroom and to our school. Besides her academic strengths, Ryleigh is a member of Student Council and Band. As a result of her contributions, Ryleigh is an excellent reflection of the Junior High’s mission: Self-Motivated, Open-Minded Individuals, Aspiring for Excellence, Showing Respect and Responsibility, Inspiring Life-Long Learning, Nurturing Creativity and Growth Mindsets as Productive Citizens."

Congratulations to the PCJH Student of the Week, Paige Leman!
Paige, an 8th grader, was nominated by Mrs. Harms, who wrote, "Paige is a sunbeam on a cloudy day. Always willing to lend a hand, Paige has worked her way from Student Council representative to Student Council Secretary. She spends many hours creating, organizing, and leading our council and school to success. In addition to council duties, Paige is also a student librarian. She helps keep things organized and books in her peers’ hands.
Paige’s witty humor boosts spirits and cuts tensions. Her knack with little kids is perfect when my children are around to “help” with school things. Paige keeps them entertained! Her servant’s heart does not stop at the doors of the junior high either. Paige is also active in her church community and at home with her family business."
